The [National Model Aviation Museum] does not generate a profit for AMA; it relies in part on donations from members to help develop new exhibits and services for the modeling community. As such, it is a worthy cause. I became a Museum Patron, and I encourage you to do the same.
I think it is important to donate to the foundation because it helps model aviation grow with scholarships, promotes model aviation with public education programs and keeps clubs active with grants and disaster relief.
